When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Taal's unusual poster left film industry and media stunned; director Subhash Ghai says, ‘It was very unlike…’

As a lifestyle expert with over three decades of experience in Bollywood, I must say that Subhash Ghai’s unique approach to filmmaking and his impeccable eye for aesthetics has always set him apart from the crowd. The poster for Taal was indeed an unconventional move at the time, but it perfectly encapsulated the vibrant energy of the film and showcased Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s radiant beauty.


Recenty, Subhash Ghai expressed thoughts online about the remarkable influence of the poster for the movie Taal, featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, upon its debut in 1999. He noted, “The film industry and media were taken aback when I presented the film TAAL with this image on billboards in 1999 because it was quite different from my typical movie posters.” Now, Taal is preparing for a unique re-release, opening in 136 theaters throughout India tomorrow, September 27.

On September 26th, Subhash Ghai posted a captivating poster on Instagram featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in a bright orange dress. This attention-grabbing image not only showcases Aishwarya’s fashion sense but also displays the names of all the film’s songs. In his post, Ghai reminisced about the initial astonishment that the poster caused when it was first released in 1999. He mentioned that both the movie industry and media were taken aback by its uniqueness compared to his earlier works.

He further mentioned that after the unveiling of Taal’s music, everyone admired his creative flair in sound and visuals. “However, when TAAL’s music was launched quickly – my aesthetics in sound and visuals were widely appreciated,” he stated. Subhash is thrilled about the film’s upcoming re-release in 136 cinemas across India tomorrow.

The film “Taal” is a musical romantic drama that highlights the versatile skills of Subhash Ghai, who juggled various roles including co-writer, editor, producer, and director. In this production, Anil Kapoor and Akshaye Khanna shine in leading roles, while Amrish Puri and Alok Nath deliver standout supporting performances. Upon its debut, the film garnered critical acclaim for its direction, gripping storyline, thoughtfully crafted script, clever dialogue, captivating soundtrack, stylish costumes, and striking choreography, all underscored by the exceptional acting of the cast.

In the bustle of returning home to Mumbai, I find myself basking in the afterglow of my electrifying presence at Paris Fashion Week. My all-black ensemble, exuding an effortless chic vibe, served as a testament to my status as a style maven. Yet again, I’ve demonstrated that black is undoubtedly my signature hue.
